Other fans perceptions of us

Football fans are easily the most unintelligent and impressionable set of people in the country.

Most football fans know absolutely fucking nowt about football, nowt about other clubs, and even nowt about their own clubs. They all follow made up narratives like sheep and don’t have the intelligence or the wherewithal to endeavour to learn about the truth. Bring up something from decades or even a century ago about their club and it’s the first time they’ve ever heard it.

They’re usually easy to spot: it’s all those “bantz” cunts with silly fringes and drink cheap shit beer and all listen to the same five bands, middle aged fat cunts whose arsecracks you can see over their oversized jeans who still buy physical copies of red top newspapers, oh and fanboys.

But sometimes they’re hard to spot and they’re seemingly nice older couples (like Paul’s example)…

but altogether as a group, the know-nowts are a good 85% of all football fans; full of cliches and spouting untruthfulness all while thinking they’re right.

The minority of football fans who have a bit of something about them and know their shit, they seem to like City and don’t have a problem with us. Funny that.

I rarely talk to fans of other clubs these days as the usual crap the media post about us comes pouring out, plus their own bile. Last night I made an exception but sadly it went as expected.

I'm sitting in a pub in Didsbury watching the Arsenal game, my mates are half watching, half not. Anyway just before the start of the second half this couple come in, early sixties and ask if they can sit next to me. No problem. They start chatting, they are from Leicester, here for the weekend. They've just had a meal and are staying in Deansgate and ask me where the tram station is for getting back. They seem a nice couple. Then we start talking about football. They support Leicester, or so they say, more on that later.

The chat is reasonable at first then it starts. He reckons they have the best owners, then it's we do it the right way, win trophies without spending a fortune. Then it's Pep only wins because he manages clubs with money, he couldn't do it at lower clubs. This is when I go from being polite to having a pop back at these pricks. As I educate them a little he actually apologised for slagging us off saying he was a bit out of order. This shows how much the years of constant anti City shite spouted by the media affects people's perception of us as a club and our fanbase. I realised they are absolute half wits when they said Messi, arguably the best player that has ever been, should have stayed at Barcelona and played for NOTHING if he loved the club so much instead of crying on TV. You really couldn't make it up.

They saved the best until last though. As the conversation widened with others,as they left he mentioned they were going to do a tour of the swamp tomorrow,!!! Apparently it was his birthday treat. So he was probably a rag who now supports his local side as they're not doing too badly these days. I was gutted they left because I really wanted to discuss this little gem with him.

I hope the cunts are both in bed ill with food poisoning this morning and he misses the tour!!

On the overground last Saturday after the CS game my mate and I were chatting about the UCL final when a Leicester fan piped up that it's the only thing we hadn't been able to buy and proceeded to partake in a couple of lines of City Bingo.
I gave it him with both barrels about their dodgy sponsorship deal with a ghost company to finance their promotion and King Powers dubious reputation in their homeland at which point he accused me of being nasty.
I suggested that he checked his facts rather than repeating the shite he reads in the media.

In my experience most match going fans are quite sensible but there's no doubt in my mind that the deliberate drip effect of negativity from the media is subconsciously influencing a lot of people.

Sadly the same here, pop on a City training top in the gym and random members pass by to spout off their disgust in my direction. Wash the car or do chores outside the house in a City top, and this invites snidey comments from passers by instead of the usual, can you wash mine later?

To counter that, If I see anyone in public wearing City gear, I approach them gently and say "nice top", "great player" or a general thumbs up with a car honk on my travels.

What do you reckon the percentage is on here? :)
 
I must be the 'exception that proves the rule' as the saying goes. I am never bothered about wearing my City gear if I am going out casually or for a walk or anything and I have always had favourable comments about City.
I was out for a walk in Worsley the day after we got through to the CL final and a guy walking in the opposite direction wearing a Manchester United shirt (as he was polite I'm not calling him the name!) said great game last night, well done. We then had a chat about football and he was very complimentary about Pep and some of our players, including my beloved John Boy! His attitude about the money was well it was about time we caught up basically.
Before lockdown 1 I was visiting a friend and although I wasn't wearing City gear this time we got talking with some of her friends (in Shropshire) and they were also very complimentary and were actually saying that they reckoned other fans were jealous.
I usually remark on City tops if I am walking by, a little lad last week said thank you when I said great top, great team!

Is it me? Do people not feel they can insult my team around me because I am old and a woman or what? Obviously my rag supporting brothers laughingly insult my team but I give as good as I get!! :-)
